[racket] Split string except quoted

Hi there, I'm new to Racket.

I'm trying to split strings on whitespace except when quoted, such as this:

"one two three \"four five\"" => '("one" "two" "three" "four five")

In Python, this could be done with shlex.split().

Perhaps I could do it with a lexer?

Perhaps I could do it with regular expressions?

Perhaps the source code for current-command-line-arguments could show me
how to do it, although I can't work out how to locate it.

Any suggestions anyone?

Many thanks
Richard
